Lying
against a pile of soft toys, Miley is seen legs akimbo in the pastel blue Fendi garment which exposes most of
her slender torso with several large cut-outs.

She puts her hands behind her head to expose her many arm tattoos and looks sultrily at the camera. Alongside her image are the words: 'Why Miley loves to provoke'

Gazing under eyelashes heavy with mascara and her hair swept back in a wet-look style, it's a sexy look for the We Can't Stop star but nothing compared to the promotional shot she shared with followers on her Instagram on Thursday.

Laying bare: Miley lay on top of stuffed toys in another promotional snap on her Instagram on Thursday

The pop star lays bare in a black and white image, again, lying on top stuffed toys but this time al fresco against a hedgerow. For fans eager to get their hands on a copy, the rebel issue hits newsstands on September 10.

It's been a year since the popstrel stole the
show with her performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 VMAs and at this year's event she made headlines once again.

However, instead of twerking the star sent a homeless young man named Jesse to collect her award.

The blonde singer won the Video of the Year award for Wrecking Ball and Jesse, 22, stood up in front of the audience to read a speech about the subject
of homeless youth in LA - a cause close to the singer's heart.

Meanwhile,
Miley has promised a new sound for her next album and said she's
focused on recording new music that will offer her fans something
different.

'It's a little psychedelic, but still in the pop world,' the brash blonde told MTV on the red carpet before the show.

Miley said she has been working with psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips on her new music.

'I live to be in the studio. This record may take me five years. I'm going to work on it until I'm done,' Miley said.

Good cause: Instead of outrageous twerking the brash blonde made headlines by letting a homeless man make her acceptance speech
